Nifty Corners Cube

Want nifty rounded corners without creating images? "Nifty Corners Cube" does it with a little JavaScript/CSS library. It's pretty versatile, too. If you want reflections, this will do the trick.

I'm holding off on installing MovableType 3.3 because some plugins I rely on don't work with 3.3 yet. They still rely on "BigPAPI" and have not yet been modified to work with MovableType's now built-in support for API modifications. I'm not sure this blog even uses BigPAPI (though it's installed), so I'm going to try […]

Judi mentions the quiet nature of MovableType 3.3's beta, and I can attest to the fact that I haven't tested it simply because I needed many of the plugins and things that the 3.3 betas made inoperable (like BigPAPI, Akismet, and others). I haven't even checked to see if they work yet. I'll do that […]

Congdon vs. ZeFrank

I, like this guy, will take "theshow" over "Rocketboom" any day. I think I only watched about four or five Rocketbooms… Good luck to Amanda. I didn't think she was that talented.

During the winter I started a site at http://billiardsdrills.com/. Obviously, the idea behind the site is to provide tips, tricks, and the occasional puff piece (reviews, interviews, news, etc.). With the big gaps (i.e. spring/summer/fall, or "golf season") in my own pool playing, the site hasn't been updated in awhile. I'm looking to sell the […]

Help with a Web Design Issue

I despise Internet Explorer for Windows. Plus, I don't have a copy of Windows, so… that makes testing things harder. This page, a temporary page, renders fine in Safari and Firefox, but due to the fact that IE doesn't support negative margins or pseudo-classes on anything but a, it really renders rather poorly in IE. […]

Favor to Ask

If everyone could do me a favor, please click this link. If you feel really generous, click around a few links (and stay on that site). Thanks. I appreciate it. If anyone wants to buy Billiards Drills .com, the asking price is $500, though I'm quite flexible. 😉

Rain

It wouldn't be The Memorial without rain. But today, I'm driving to Detroit. Hopefully I'll escape the rain. Much coverage of The Memorial was done at The Sand Trap.

The Memorial, Year Two

I've been given a press pass to cover The Memorial. Last year I attended as a spectator. This year I'll have a work station, a three-meals-a-day buffet, and inside-the-ropes access. I look forward to hanging out in the interview room, getting on the course, and taking lots of pictures as I did last year. Tiger […]

New Server for The Sand Trap

After yesterday's issue with mt-tb.cgi, I moved The Sand Trap to its own server. And I've renamed the TrackBack script. For now, I'd rather just leave MT thinking it's mt-tb.cgi, let TrackSpammers get 404s, and fix the entry's "Successful Pings" URLs via phpMyAdmin. Incidentally, a little birdie tells me that there will be a public […]

Interland (now web.com or something) literally changed the permissions on The Sand Trap's cgi-bin directory to 000 because mt-tb.cgi was being hit hundreds of times per minute. I have a script that checks every five minutes (now every one minute) and, if more than 30 CGI scripts are running, kills mt-comment.cgi, mt-search.cgi, and mt-tb.cgi. Earlier […]

Judi noticed that Akismet for MovableType is now available. The plugin has received good reviews from WordPress users, so I'm giving it a shot here at NSLog();. We'll see how things go here first before I deploy the plugin at The Sand Trap.

MovableType Updates

Is MovableType 3.5 coming? 3.3? How about even 3.2.1?

Randum Films

A blog pal of mine, Etan Kerner, is announcing today the launch of "randumfilms.com," an "interactive, wiki-based Internet theatre." For the time being, Etan and his partners are "hoping to build community so we can support ourselves via google ads." This looks, at least, to be a good alternative to some of the other hosts […]
